Wasserman Residence
This extensive renovation designed by Eric Rawlings, AIA, LEED AP and built by Arlene Dean, completely transforms the look of the original structure. The main source of inspiration for the new design came from Greene & Greene’s Gamble House, which is considered by many as the pinnacle of the original turn of the century Craftsman Style Homes. Distinctive features from that style include the use of exposed timber framing, low pitched roof forms with large overhangs, gangs of windows, and extensive built-in furniture. The Master Bedroom has an exposed timber roof structure and well placed windows reducing the need for window treatments for a house built in an inner city neighborhood with close by neighbors, thus providing better daylighting.
